The "Star of the Theatergoer" international audience award has announced its finalists, the Theater magazine writes. The winners are chosen by audience voting.
Russian drama theaters and studio theaters from Canada, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Israel, and the CIS countries contested for the victory.
The shortlist includes the Italian Center for International Theatre, the Stanislavsky Yerevan Russian Drama Theater and the Lermontov Russian Drama Theater from Kazakhstan.
The award ceremony in almost 20 categories will be held in December at the Vakhtangov Theater in Moscow. Spectators will choose the best Russian professional and amateur theaters, as well as directors, actors, and social projects in the theatre.
The day before, on September 13, voting was launched again. It will last until the end of autumn.
A new nomination for the award this year was the category of national theaters that preserve the traditions, language and culture of the peoples of Russia. Theaters from Bashkiria, Chechnya, Karelia, Yakutia and other regions of the country are competing for the award.
